      Aftermarket headlight question

      has anyone tried the aftermarket black halo headlights from ebay? i would assume they will last as long as any other china set. my headlights are brittle and the tabs are broke that hold the headlight bulb in so its time to do something as i need to replace the bulbs yet again, like once a year. i dont know how many more times its going to handle a bulb swap and actually stay in, lol. i was thinking of getting the black ones and led tail lights to go with the paint job.Name:  aveo.jpg

      Can you post a pic of your headlights? That way the OP can see if it's the ones he wants. Also where you got them. Thanks!

      Is that a EK civic lip molded to the bumper? Looks good. BTW, what are you lowered on?

      I was lowered on mk1 coil overs. There is low and there is way too low. This was the later. I went back and put in lowered springs with struts. And yes I molded the civic lip to my front bumper. Personally I think I did a decent job and it looks different and stock all at once.

      Yeah, I definitely like the way the lip looks molded to the bumper. You did a great job.
